General descriptions
19. [PEDALS] connectors: in these connectors it is possibile to connect pedals to control the following functions:
- [SUSTAIN]: connector for a switch-type pedal to control the Sustain effect for orchestral voices.
- [EXPR.]: connector for a volume-type pedal for the continuous control of Man.II volume.
- [CRESC.]: connector for a volume-type pedal to select the Crescendo level (step). These levels activate a
fixed set of stops, linked with an equal number of loudness, from pianissimo to fortissimo. The current level is
shown on the display by the CRESC. field in the main video page (see page 8). The Crescendo controls all
the registers and couplers. Each level of the Crescendo can be programmed. To save the Crescendo
configuration, see [S] thumb piston description.
20. [MIDI] connectors: connectors for connecting MIDI devices.
- [IN]: input connector for receiving data from an external MIDI unit to the instrument. Connect to the MIDI output
of the transmitting device (e. g. a MIDI pedalboard).
- [OUT]: this connector transmits the MIDI data generated by the instrument. Connect to the MIDI input of the
receiving device (e. g. an expander).
21. [USB]: two USB ports. The [TO HOST] port links the organ to a computer, in order to use the “Physis Plus
The Editor” Windows / Mac OS / iOs application. The [TO DEVICE] port is dedicated to USB flash drive (not
included with the organ) to save and load configuration files and songs recorded using the internal sequencer.
22. [MAINS AC-IN] socket: connector for the power cable supplied with the instrument.
23. [POWER] switch: switches the instrument on and off.
NOTES
- When a headphone jack is inserted, the organ’s internal speakers are automatically muted.
-
When switching on, the instrument automatically detects the polarity of the switch pedal connected to
the [SUSTAIN] connector. Do not hold down the pedal when turning the power on, to avoid reversing
the operation of the pedal.
-
Expression and Crescendo can also be controlled via MIDI. It is necessary to set the type and operation
mode of the respective pedals using the SHOES / PEDALBOARD function (page X). In addition to this,
please note that when using the MIDI controls, Expression and Crescendo cannot be controlled with
pedals connected to the [EXPR.] and [CRESC.] connectors. Likewise, by selecting the use of these
pedals, control via MIDI is not possible.
-
The [CRESC.] pedal can control also the volume of Pedal and Manual I. For further information about
this function see page 25.
- For further information about the MIDI interface, see page 51.
